> Then our definition is NOT the same.

OK. I don't see any murder in abortion.

I see a woman making a decision for herself and her future.

>> It is the womans life until it is born.

> So in your mind a pregnant woman has two hearts? Two sets of lungs?

No.

>> Women "NEED" abortions. That's the part I can't get behind.

>> That's what I have been reading.

Yes, I understand your position.

That's good to know.

The only difference betwwen our positions is that I beleive a woman has the right to privacy and to make her own choice.

I may not agree with her choice or some parts of it, but it is still her choice to make and she free to do what is best for her.

OK, I think a woman may have valid reasons to choose as she does.

Doctor mistakes is another thing altogether.

>> That's not rhetoric. That is what is happening today.

It is not rhetoric, it is happening and will continue to happen unless it is corrected.

Doctors make mony delivering babies as well.

Abortion is health care for women. They need or want it as the case may be.

Abortion on demand is not a thing.

> Sadly selfishness has come out on top in a lot of states thus far.

I have to agree.
